( or front, it’s been a decade or two si ce I last looked a. Chev torque-tube drive line!)
To get an idea have a look at the factory pivot point on the dif.

And don’t cut the mounts off the original dif and weld them onto the new dif, they’re designed to operate with a torque-tube.

The current original rear end is a torque tube but I am replacing it with a Chevy 10 bolt and an open driveshaft, a TH350 3-speed auto and the rebuilt '72 Chevy 250 inline 6. The entire original running gear from engine to wheels is coming out.
